Ok. Report is not best choice, since this is more a general (VFP independent) style problem. I would have put it under
VFP in general. Looks like we have no
documentation.
My answer is:
This is completely up to you. What ever any style guide mean, normaly the company creating the rules is not consistent in itself.
I would do
Edit > Preferences… ; Audio > Driver Settingsif Audio / Driver Settings is a menu within preferences.
If this is just something within the form I would do
Edit > Preferences… ; Audio, Driver SettingsBecause the
> indicates a level inside a menu.
Or I would be more specific like
Go menu
Edit > Preferences… select on
Page Audio Combobox Driver Settingsto avoid confusion. Because if it confuses me, the reader will be confused as well.
